function refreshCSS() { var sheets = [].slice.call(document.getElementsByTagName("link")); var head = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0]; for (var i = 0; i < sheets.length; ++i) { var elem = sheets[i]; head.removeChild(elem); var rel = elem.rel; if (elem.href && typeof rel != "string" || rel.length == 0 || rel.toLowerCase() == "stylesheet") { var url = elem.href.replace(/(&|\?)_cacheOverride=\d+/, ''); elem.href = url + (url.indexOf('?') >= 0 ? '&' : '?') + '_cacheOverride=' + (new Date().valueOf()); } head.appendChild(elem); } }
